Hi David (and readers of my open letters at http://dadamac.posterous.com )

Given our recent discussions of the value of science fiction in freeing us to explore and express alternative futures - this book may be of interest to you.

The Windup Girl: See http://boingboing.net/2010/02/17/the-windup-girl-2010.html

(When you've read the link you'll know as much as I do.)

I look forward to continuing our sci-fi discussions. (Maybe we should start a mini  Book Club - plus books not yet written - sci-fi open discussion thingy or something, as well as just talking to each other about it  - I don't know - BTW - you were right about my direction for reading "Truth" - I did start to dip in via the "Garden" route - but it'll probably have to be on hold now until we meet up again and do some more shared reading times).
